Note: A very good weekend at Twilite! If any parents read this blog (and I could only hope that they do) not only did the team turn in good performances, but they were really a joy to be with. My thanks to Barb & Hoyt Pinaire, who drove the second van, paid for the teams pre-race dinner, provided water, juice and other valuable logistical support. This trip could not have happened so smoothly without their presence.
In the previous post today, I created a spreadsheet of this season's results. I added columns looking at time gaps, as well as differences in performances between the 4 corners and twilite races. It might seem a little confusing, however I'll explain it to the team at practice tomorrow.

Practice and Meet Schedule for September 20th to 26th
Summary of 4 Corners:
Good meet. The boys finished ahead of St. Augs of Tucson, a team that has been up and coming for the last three years. St. Augs is a very good team and one we have not beat in the time I've had my eye on them. We did get beat by Coco and they will be our goal to beat in the weeks ahead.
On the girls side, great to see Kevin get recognized for what I have been seeing since last track season. Overall, it is sad that we can't put at least 5 runners on the line.
Monday, 9/20
A modified "big warm-up"
8-6 laps of 30 meters between the triangles.
Running drills and stanfords.

Here's what to expect (however, we'll discuss this tomorrow at a meeting after practice.
- After arriving and making "camp," you will all depart on the Big Warm-up.
- No parents are welcomed at camp... think of it as a "locker room."

Practice Schedule for August 30 - September 5th
Note to parents: I apologize for keeping you waiting on Saturday after our "hike" to Agassiz Peak. However, I purposefully didn't put a pick-up time since first, I didn't think this was going to take place, and second, I knew it was going to be more of an "event" than a "practice." As it turned out, in hiking the 14 mile round-trip, we had two injuries that caused us to be at least an hour later than what many of us anticipated. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or comments. As always, thanks for your continued support.
Pick up for all practice listed below will be at 5 PM.
Monday, 8/30
If everyone did their "long run" as prescribed yesterday, then it's quite possible that those could do their easy run as the Soliere loop (which most have not run this season). We'll finish on the track with strides and Stanfords.
Tuesday
Workout on the track
400's
bring flats
Wednesday
Off
Thursday
Tempo
5 mile Campbell Mesa Loop.
Friday
Green Mtn. Loop
Falcon Hills (emphasizing downhill & uphill running form)
Standfords
Saturday
Captains' practice
Needs to be discussed...
Sunday
Off... in prep for Wednesday's opening meet in Payson.
